\[ f + s = 16 \]
In this equation:
- \( f \) represents the number of pounds of flour,
- \( s \) represents the number of pounds of sugar, and
- the total weight of flour and sugar together is 16 pounds.
\[ f + s = 16 \]
In this equation:
- \( f \) represents the number of pounds of flour,
- \( s \) represents the number of pounds of sugar, and
